Lovely accommodation with lovely hosts in a wonderful location!

Great spot with loads of space in the living room to kick back. Lovely guest who helped with directions and left some scones and milk in the fridge.

The house is very comfortable with a spacious open plan living room and kitchen - perfect for a family holiday. The host is very friendly and helpful being flexible with our arrival time.

Tamara2017-03-19T00:00:00Z

The Old School Room was perfect accommodation for our time on Islay. We were met by a 'warm' host with warm scones. Brilliant! The accommodation is excellent value for money. It met, and exceeded all our expectations.

Finlaggan Visitor Centre, Bunnahabhain, Caolila and the soon to be built Ardnahoe Distillery are all a short drive away from the house.

Keills is a small friendly village with roughly 50 houses and is a nice quiet neighbourhood. There is a swing park and a playing fields which can access to the back of the house.

Perfect sizing, comfortable place Good location Catherine was a great host

Michele2017-05-08T00:00:00Z

Great location and lovely little house. Perfect for exploring the island.

Barbara2017-05-05T00:00:00Z

Catherine was an excellent host. She lives next door so was quickly around if we needed her and was able to look out for us arriving. We told her when the ferry got in to Port Ellen and she was outside the cottage waiting for the group of people looking a bit lost as they drove through the village half an hour later! The cottage is beautiful, clean and beautifully decorated. Beds were very comfortable too. Kitchen had everything you'd expect and hope to find. We could park in the driveway and walk to a couple of different pubs, and the views were stunning. I'd highly recommend this cottage to anyone visiting Islay.

Marie2017-04-17T00:00:00Z

Wonderful visit accentuated by the incredible lodging and hospitality provided by Catherine. Very comfortable house located well for distillery visits. We're so lucky to have found this cottage!

A uniquely situated end terraced house in one of the original streets in Port Ellen, Isle of Islay. A few steps to the beach and open views to the beach, sea and Port Ellen distillery warehouses. The house is a minute from the nearest shop but is totally peaceful and quiet.
We respectfully ask you to leave the house as you find it. Thank you.

Anne's place was everything we could have hoped for. Incredible views, great location, and such an attractive and well-maintained house. Anne also provided a lot of information and tips that made our stay on Islay even more incredible! Cannot recommend visiting Islay and staying at Anne's place enough!

Jamie2017-05-17T00:00:00Z

What a nice place in a perfect location! It was a beautiful home and had everything we needed to enjoy our stay on Islay. Thank you so much! Would definitely stay here again and recommend to anyone. Beautiful sunset views as well.

Sarah2015-09-16T00:00:00Z

My friend and I stayed in Anne and Carma’s lovely seaside home in Port Ellen for a long weekend. Our hope was to see some of the migratory birds heading south for the winter, in addition to sampling some of the local whisky. Of course in November the weather is always a gamble. We decided to drive from Cambridge to Islay (a mere 11 hours with ferry connection!) and were already some way into our journey when we received a message from the ferry company to say that our ferry that evening was cancelled. There was no chance of getting to Islay that evening, so I immediately got in contact with Anne to explain the situation. She was incredibly flexible and amenable, which made a bad situation solvable. We spent the night in a pleasant hotel near Kennacraig and caught the first ferry in the morning. On the arrival the house is easy to find - 1 minute from the car ferry terminal. This proved to be incredibly convenient for our return back as we were able to leave the house 30 minutes before the departure time, and still arrive in plenty of time for the ferry! Port Ellen has a small Co-op (open 7 days a week) and a couple of ‘local’ pubs. The distilleries of Laphroaig, Lagavulin and Ardbeg are all within easy reach, either by walking (about 45 mins to Laphroaig), cycle or bus. More info here: (URL HIDDEN) Cycles can be rented from Jim at Islay Cycles: (URL HIDDEN) The house itself is very well equipped - a lovely large kitchen with everything you need. The lounge is large with big TV and open fire. We enjoyed spending the evenings in front of a crackling fire. There two bedrooms are large and the beds are really comfy. There are electric heaters throughout the house so you never feel cold. The view from the bedrooms over the bay of Port Ellen is a beautiful way to wake up. I managed to forget my jacket with house keys inside and Anne kindly mailed it back to me very quickly. In summary, a really lovely place to stay and wonderful hosts. Thank you for a really pleasant stay!

Adam2015-11-24T00:00:00Z

Easy to find, comfortable flat, Anne was available for questions on the phone when we arrived. The flat is as described, clean and cosy, with plenty of room for everyone. Port Ellen very quiet in the offseason but had a great time walking in the surrounding area.

mark2016-02-08T00:00:00Z

This cottage is perfect! Wonderful location for exploring the island and wonderful views for cozy nights in by the fire. It's clean, well equipped and spacious. Would go back in a heartbeat! Thank you!

Louise2016-02-29T00:00:00Z

This a lovely cottage with a lovely host. The cottage is right on the front at port Ellen with views across beach to the distillery. The cottage is charming and well equipped.

neil2015-05-20T00:00:00Z

Absolutely fantastic cottage situated right opposite the beach. Perfect for ferry access. Overall a great holiday and will certainly be back to visit again. Felt like home from home and all amenities in the village were within easy access. Thanks for the use of your house during our stay.

James2016-08-30T00:00:00Z

Anne's place is a magical experience. It is adorable and has views of the sea right out the windows. Better than we expected from the pictures on the listing - they don't do it justice. Anne was also super helpful in communication before the trip (with an information document), during (personal recommendations for a car hire), and after our stay. Honestly, she should be getting paid by the Islay tourist board because we want to move there. Couldn't recommend higher. Oh, also it is a short walk from the ferry, restaurants and pubs, and a grocery store.

This beautiful whisky island, Queen of the Hebrides is home to fabulous scenery, unrivalled wildlife, fantastic food and entertainment, an unique golf course, immaculate secluded beaches and 8 distilleries. Visit and experience all of this for a unique holiday or short break.
Visit (URL HIDDEN) for nearly everything you need.

An unrivalled view across the Sound if Islay to the Paps of Jura and north to see the hills if Mull in the horizon. Keep a look out for Aurora Borealis!

Peter has always been super friendly and gracious when I have talked to him via email and phone. Because his home is right at Caol Ila as soon as we stepped out of the car you could smell the peaty goodness! What a magical place to kick off our vacation. The home is exactly as you see it in the photos, but even better once you are there. Please read the folder they leave for you as there is excellent information in here that you will need. If you need to do laundry the clothes rack is in the closet in the "blue bedroom" and the hole for setting up the clothes rack is on the left side of the house, a few steps up the grass under a rock :) right Peter?! LOL (inside joke). We LOVED staying here. Thank you so much for sharing your lovely home away from home. Cheers, The Cruickshanks, Kittleberg & Smeltzer party.

NIcole2016-07-16T00:00:00Z

The listing description was accurate, the house and neighbourhood was as promised (ie. peaceful and beautiful), pretty much everything was great.

Toni2016-07-29T00:00:00Z

Exactly as advertised! Peter has set this house up just perfectly. the house feels like a home, casual and comfortable. All the amenities you could need and waking up to the view across to Jura is sublime. Caol Ila is five minutes away and, if you don't have a car, a ten minute walk gets you to the bus stop up on the main road and from there you can access the island. We would absolutely recommend the house and Islay itself, a wonderful week away from mainland life.

Graeme2016-09-08T00:00:00Z

The accomodation was lovely, very spacious, clean, tidy and accomodating. There was plenty information about the surrounding area, lots of dvd's to watch and a well supplied kitchen. Peter was very good with communication and very helpful to us. Additionally the location could not be better, stunning views and close to the ferry. Would definitly recomend this place.

Jenny2016-08-15T00:00:00Z

We spent a wonderful few days on Islay. 13 Distillery Cottages is well described in the listing as 'fairly basic, the accommodation is pristine clean and comfortable.'. I would also add that it is very well equipped, particularly in the kitchen and is well heated. There is also a good selection of books (including maps and local walks/places of interest) and DVDs. Peter, the host, was quick to answer our questions prior to our visit and made great suggestions for things to do during our stay. It might be worth noting that the accommodation is situated entirely on the ground floor and that there is another residence on the 1st floor(URL HIDDEN)I'd be happy to stay at the property again or recommend to friends and family.

Paul2016-01-02T00:00:00Z

Great place! Kids loved the bunk beds, books, and games. We liked the Islay info, and view of the sea and Paps of Jura.

Kit's house was the perfect size for the 3 of us, it was well located just on the edge of Port Charlotte with great views from the bedrooms in a quiet, friendly location. The kitchen was well equipped & spacious so cooking was easy. The lounge had more than enough space for us with a good sized dining table. Kit was very responsive & we would recommend this house to anyone wanting a holiday in Islay.

The Manse is a 5 bedroom holiday house situated on the edge of Port Ellen and within walking distance of the village amenities. We aim to offer functional, affordable self catering accommodation for people wanting to experience all Islay has to offer.

The Manse is ideally suited to families wanting more space than a traditional holiday let would allow, extended familes or groups. Situated on the edge of Port Ellen, surrounded by fields and with views over the village and bay, The Manse is a perfect location for those wanting to experience a holiday on magical Islay with out breaking the bank.
Travellers visiting without a car are served by our accommodation as The Manse is less then 1 mile for the Port Ellen ferry terminal, 4 miles from Islay airport and less than 5 min walk to the nearest bus stop.
Originally built in 1964 by the Church of Scotland to house the minister for Port Ellen, The Manse has 5 bedrooms sleeping 8. This consisits of 2 doubles, 2 singles and a bunk bed room, and we can offer a travel cot for an under 2. In addition to the bedrooms there are 2 shower rooms, a large comfortable sitting room, kitchen with all mod cons and a seperate dining room. Outside there is a garden and parking for up to 3 cars.

Deb was a wonderful host. She is kind and welcoming, and even baked us a delicious welcome cake. Her house is wonderful! She is centrally located in Port Ellen- my favorite part of Islay due to its proximity to Ardbeg, Lagavulin, and Laphroaig. There is a nearby co-op store for your groceries. Trust me, get some food and enjoy Deb's spacious kitchen. Her washer and dryer were a dream come true after we had managed to collect a suitcase full of dirty laundry by the time we checked in at Deb's. The house is big and comfortable. Her WiFi is awesome- I was able to live stream the entire Champions League final on my laptop using her connection. Do yourself a favor and stay here. It enhances your Islay experience greatly, especially during Feis Ile when everything has been sold out a year or two in advance.

Maria2016-05-30T00:00:00Z

Graham2017-04-15T00:00:00Z

The Manse was a great base for exploring Islay - comfortable, bright, spacious and well equipped. Deb was an excellent host - welcoming, kind and helpful.

Peter2016-07-17T00:00:00Z

A very warm welcome to us! She was so considerate to provide us some homemade bread as it's Saturday and bread could be sold out very fast. The welcome cake that she made was really fantastic. The stay in the house was very cozy and she was ready and willing to give help. If I traveled to Islay again, no doubt would I choose to stay at this same house again! Thanks!

Raymond2016-07-29T00:00:00Z

Lovely house, warm, cosy and well decorated after arriving to cake and fresh flowers. Great location for exploring the island.

Charles and Fergus are great hosts! We were made to feel very welcome, a great breakfast and fantastic hospitality.

Scott2017-04-09T00:00:00Z

Charles and Fergus' home was as inviting and warm as it was clean and tidy. The pair could not have made our stay any better, taking every opportunity to be courteous and helpful - from breakfast to car rides to our next stop down the road. Furnished delightfully, the rooms (we stayed in two double rooms) were well appointed and carefully laid out with consideration for their cozy size. They were also turned down daily - a luxurious feature rarely found in AirBnB locations. Breakfasts consisted of fresh and preserved fruits, toast (with a healthy selection of preserves), cereals and, if requested, fresh eggs and bacon/sausage/black pudding etc. From the rich French press coffee to the delicious preserves, we dined to our full under the attentive eye of our hosts. Over all, it was a delightful and delicious way to begin each day of touring and dramming at the local distilleries. Bowmore is a lovely little village and Charles and Fergus' place is centrally located, only a short walk from the grovery store, shops and the Bowmore Distillery. We found it simple to get around, with many of the islanders happy to offer us a lift to and from even the farther whiskey destinations. 10/10. Most definitely will be back!

Jacob2015-07-15T00:00:00Z

Lovely place & very welcoming hosts - would highly recommend. Perfect base to explore the island with shops/restaurants within walking distance.

Helene2017-04-16T00:00:00Z

This little BnB was a great place to stay for our one night on Islay. We were not able to meet Charles in person, but Fergus was very friendly and gave us some tips on where to eat in town for dinner. The room was clean and had a nice view of the garden. Our only gripe was that we ended up with the twin room, which meant we had to sleep apart. Breakfast was amazing. Fergus cooked up a full spread of eggs, bacon, black pudding, and more! Overall this a great place for anyone coming to Islay. Bowmore is a great central location and you couldn't ask for a better host!

Phillip2016-07-29T00:00:00Z

Excellent accomodation, good breakfast, comfy bed!

Tom2016-09-22T00:00:00Z

Short but sweet stay.

Becca2016-03-24T00:00:00Z

Charles and Fergus were amazing hosts. They have just the right balance of making you feel at home while not being obtrusive. Our room was lovely, and breakfast was great. My husband particularly liked the black pudding and I was partial to the tattie scones.

Fiona was a fantastic host. She provided timely and helpful tips about local transportation and grocery needs before we arrived. The house was spotless and well-cared for with lots of sweet "hosting" details, such as the hand-made soap and sparkling wine and water. The luxurious bathtub was a great perk after long walks around the island. I would highly recommend Fiona's beautiful spot in Ardbeg!

Juliana2017-04-30T00:00:00Z

I've been there with my girlfriend to visit Islay and some distilleries...wonderful stay!!! The house it's a jewel, big, very comfortable and with a great view on the sea and on Ardbeg distillery! In less than 10 min by car you can reach Port Ellen When i'll come back to Islay, this will be my house for sure!! Thank you again Fiona!

davide2017-05-11T00:00:00Z

A really friendly host presented us with a perfect home from home. The kitchen is well equipped, comfortable furniture throughout and an excellent shower. To top it off the view is amazing. Thanks for a lovely stay!

Chay2017-05-26T00:00:00Z

We had a great time! The house is very clean, cozy and with an incredible view. It's 2 minute walk from Ardbeg Distillery and 10 minute drive from Port Ellen. Fiona was very helpful and everything was perfect.

The Black House is a unique property situated between Bruichladdich and Port Charlotte on Islay. Designed by Lucid Architecture, it was completed in 2017.
It's a term time home for a family on neighbouring Jura whose children attend Islay High School to save commuting every day. It sleeps a family of 8 (2 couples, plus 4 kids/adults) or 6 single guests. Views from the house are stunning and Islay is an amazing location for a holiday, a whisky tour or just some rest and relaxation.

Currently there's no TV but we're working on it and broadband is intermittent. There is mobile reception at the house depending on network but no 3G or 4G on Islay. A car is pretty essential for getting around as public transport is limited. Car ferries must be pre-booked so ensure you have a reservation with Calmac before confirming a booking for the house.

Lynton and Pi have a comfortable, cozy house with a beautiful view of Loch Indaal. Five of us stayed here for three days in May and loved it. Well-appointed kitchen, nice living and dining rooms, and three bedrooms gave us a nice amount of space to spread out in. The house sits between Port Charlotte and Bruichladdich on the northern side of the island. It is fairly centrally located - Bowmore is roughly 20 minutes away by car, Caol Ila 25 and Ardbeg 40. Communication with them was easy and they were very responsive. One of my favorite touches was the honor-system pantry they have set up in the kitchen. It was so nice to have a little bit of food in the house when we got there. We couldn't have asked for a more pleasant stay, and we'll definitely stay there again on our next visit to Islay.

Monique2017-05-09T00:00:00Z

The location is superb. The house is very well laid out and equipped. A large and beautiful garden. A few minutes walk from the distillery. Help and advice on area activities and restaurants. Suitable with children. In short, we absolutely recommend. Alain.

An excellent base for exploring Islay and informative hosts whose top tips were accurate and highly recommended. Nearby Port Charlotte has some amazing seafood and we all enjoyed the distillery tour at nearby Bruichladdich. Beautiful scenery, beaches and more distilleries not too far away. The house is a real home with a relaxing and restorative vibe and lots of space for a family (we travelled with three littles- 6, 4 and 10 months). The garden is a wonderful addition and decor is carefully curated with a lovely collection of toys and books to enjoy. What a bonus! We loved it and hope to return soon.

Chris2017-04-14T00:00:00Z

Phenomenal, phenomenal place. We cannot wait to come back. Pi's communication before we came to stay, with details about all of the logistical idiosyncrasies that come with a trip to Islay were superbly communicated. The house has a simply stunning view. Location is central enough to reach any point on the island within about half an hour but secluded enough that you feel like you have your own private island. Cannot wait to return. Some very happy AirBnB'ers here.

Jamie2017-05-01T00:00:00Z

Lovely house in a great location. Perfect for a small group or family.
